Most left-wing thought is essentially incompatible with mainstream Catholicism, so it's not as if he can say anything else.

Considering how much of modern left-wing ideology is secular (or at least not inherently based on Christian thinking), this shouldn't be a surprise.  Of course there is some overlap between the Pope's views and the modern left when it comes to social justice issues, but this hardly makes him "left-wing."

Yes. He is just much saner than his two immediate predecessors, which is still a huge step forward.

CNN left out the best part of the Pope's answer:

Indeed the left needs to stop it with their weird delusion that Pope Francis is a US progressive, but the right also needs to stop it with the same delusion.
